I mean again its 14.0 and not foldered, who would’ve expected gaijin to tteat sweden air with any sort of love, they have actively tried to make it the worst nation for air for ever now lol. Its a joke too bad ill never use it for CAS given it cant handle whats coming this update.
Ill have to check because it should weigh less than the US F/A-18C Late and the same if not a tad lighter than the Swiss, as the Swiss and Finnish both used titanium for the Keel.
Dont get me started on what the SAAF Gripen shouldn’t have, youve received a better jet then you should have gotten to begin with. If you want a better gripen go play any other nation with a gripen aside from sweden, every other nation has plenty of other cehilces to experience and let you enjot a more wide selection of playstyles, imo Italy and Japan are the the two best air nations for different jets.
The SAAF gripen was merely something for britain to have at top tier until the arrival of the Typhoon, but there’s no reason to give it an objectively worse missile set (ahistorically) than the other gripens. South africa is a designated ground subtree, some aircraft couldn’t hurt either
You’ve kinda ignored what i said but its fine, the SAAF gripen unlike all the other gripens should be the worst both irl and in game they are the only gripen user to not update to MS20 because SA has so many financial problems. Most of their airforce was grounded for a few years until they could make a deal with SAAB.
I wont say the SAAF should get AIM 120, you have so many other aircraft that honestly i doubt the Gripen C’s will be updated again. Gaijin has found their perfect fake vehicle to balance and subsequently leave as this Frankenstein abomination. You want a good Gripen play any other nation that will get Gripens that isnt sweden that way you can get other jets youve never played.
Im not gonna list every problem ive had with the SAAF gripen since ive done that multiple times here already.
well seeing F-15E F-18 get AMRAAM C-5 (and probably soon EFT)
all i can say is
RIP my Gripen no C-5 for it he is the best plane I slap horde of skill less KH-38 slinger out of the sky.
Its a garbage jet, it doesn’t need anymore reason to go even further into oblivion lol. 13.7 is the highest it should go until NG
I was thinking.
Full strength BOL + Aim-120C5s… would that be enough to keep it going at 14.0?
Especially if F-15E, Typhoon, Su-30 and Rafale moved to 14.3
No lmao. Actual radar isnt gonna happen. Gaijin has made it abundantly clear that 13.7 is where it will stay and rot away.
It wouldn’t hold, regrettably. You lack the staying power with the AAM count, and cannot make use of the central pylon to at least contribute some ticket bleed. It’s just in a rubbish state. Only real hope for gripen is NG. Or y’know, fixing the agility so you could hold your own once you’ve loosed the missiles, but we’ve been less than gently told that’s not going to happen.
With limited of four ARH and Gripen nature?
Probably not enough to go 14.0 even with C-5
Doubt for NG anytime soon when they don’t even able to make Gripen C the right one what we have in the game nothing more than Gripen A that can fire AMRAAM can call it let alone different between MS19 and MS20
I’m not saying I expect the NG. Just that the NG is the only real chance for us getting a playable gripen, short of them skipping it for Gripen E.
Yeah me too
Talking about playable Gripen for very least if not NG correcting the current C i think it should able to make it playable for a while but we know how gaijin implemented C as copy paste A and add ARH
I really don’t expect much from them
I expect to be disappointed by them, and I’ve never been let down on this front.
I think the flight model is more than good enough, but the AOA toggle is broken for all exported Gripen Cs in game as of rn (gaijin won’t fix them because minor nations)
Yeah no, the flight model prior to considering the toggle is underperforming even the least credible sources. Quite noticeably.
Early version RBS 15F MK.I incoming? :D
(i can dream)
Will Britain’s Challenger 2s be brought up to spec to make it easy enough to spawn in said Gripen and use GMTI?
